well here is the latest damage to my 03 enthusiast. an asian lady backed into my car at the grocery store. she said she was sorry. well for all of you interested the price on this one is at $4000 and 2 to 3 weeks to repair. check out the pics. one thing after another

 

ouch man. Good luck on the fix.

 

ouch.. could have been worse...

if it makes you feel any better... this is my rear quater panel and they fixed it perfectly...

 

my door got the crap beat out of it when a girl backed up into it while i couldn't move forward. I just stood there honking and crash


They fixed it perfect

 

That's sad... hope they can fix it and make it look perfect. Good luck.

 

People need to stop talking on cellphones while driving 'n pay attention to the freakin' road!

Good luck with your repairs Reno.

 

hehe that's pretty funny actually

that's me in the pic the following morning looking at it while my GF takes pics of it

 

damn that sucks man,but maybe you can get a rear panel from a junk yard and put the rest of your money towards a body kit???

 

LOL, you know I was going to photoshop JUST that but wasn't sure if that was you or not. (Didn't want to disrespect on a fellow member )

It looks like whoever backed up into you only got the door. Unfortunate event, but at least the work was straightforward for the body shop? Quick turnaround?

 

Dang asian drivers!!!!

 

Where you at the Mazda challenge on saturday, I think i saw you driving on the freeway and you parked next to us.

 

No actually they need to stop driving while they are talking on their phones.

 

hehe no problem on the pic, I thought the idea was funny

took them a week to fix - had to order a new door brace and panel, then took a couple days to paint

they did a perfect job - flawless

in my case, it was just the door and nothing else - almost amazing it worked out like that



what was funny when the accident happened is the girl kept telling me how she loved my car. She called her husband: "honey I crashed into a Z......I know I love those cars too"

 

reno, i have the exact same thing on my car. quotes so far have been between $760 and $1000 to fix

 

Why it gotta be an ASIAN lady??? lol jp

 

Amen...

Back in highschool, my mom would back out on all my friends who parked at our house. Door dents, broken corner headlamps, cracked turn signals....

Eventually all my buddies would park up or across the street everytime they came over.

 

Do you still have friends?

 

RENO that estimate seems really high..I don't think they'll have to replace that quarter panel. I've seen similar repairs in the $2k range.

the bill as of now is $3783.20 plus $1406.97 for a rental car while repairs are being made. the bodyshop also has to do a minor pull on the frame as well which is included in the estimate. this is a nightmare. two body shops looked at the car and the first which a friend of mine runs said the panel is toast but if i wanted they could rework the panel and use a bunch of filler etc not recommended but said it was possible. a lot hours involved and pretty mickey mouse as opposed to replacement. the friend who runs the other shop gave me a preliminary estimate at 2500k which he said would definately go up with supplemental etccc.. all the repairs thus far have been approved by the girls insurance and i received the rental car check today. the body shop doing the repairs does all the repairs for the near by nissan dealership as well as several others dealers close by. they were highly recommeded and very professional so far. two courtesy calls this week with repair progress and up dates. the completion date is set for the 23rd or sooner
el guy: no i was not at the mazda challenge
